Here is a little something to put things in perspective.

If it were from my home address.

You can put the map of the spill anywhere and get an idea of how big it is. There are other things going on down there, as pointed out by Mayberry, that would, and should have certain individuals in jail.


Now, As you can see, this mess would cover over half of Ohio, half of Indiana and a good portion of Northern KY.(and I am sure that there are few native Kentuckians that would think that would be a good thing. LOL) THAT is one hell of a mess. and this is just a simulation that shows the surface stuff, not the mess that is below surface due to the surfactants, and dispersal agents used.

Yeah, Other than commandeering boats as pointed out by Mayberry, or taking the horse by the reins and doing what needs done on a local level, this isn't going away. BP is more interested in capturing the losses at the head and paying locals a pittance of their losses than doing what is right. The Federal Government is too busy taking vacations or pointing fingers to actually do something. And to be honest, I would prefer them to stay the hell out of the way anyway. It's more likely, from the few things I have read about this disaster, that the Federal Gooberment is hip deep in the scandal too.

But of Course, Its all George Bush's fault. Unhuh.

Like others in our sphere, I am just sick to death of hearing the excuses, whining, outright lies, and finger-pointing of our "elected Reps". Over paid, underworked, self aggrandizing, do nothing jack-asses. Of course its not their fault, they didn't design the equipment, they didn't make the laws of physics, they didn't write the rules of Hydraulic pressure, or thermodynamics or any of the myriad of other reasons that this well could have failed.
Nope, not to blame, not one of them.
So who do we blame? The hen, or the Cook? Lets blame the hen.

Time is short.

They continue to push envelopes that should never have been fucked with.

They continue to vote themselves more, while we continue to take home less.

Dio, it is beyond outrageous what's happening. Or rather, what's NOT happening...

Just a bit. I am really sickened by LACK of anything substantial coming out of this and O'boy getting away with it. Bush was damn near crucified over Katrina and it was a state issue not the Fed. This IS a Fed issue and Barry is getting little to no criticism from the media(other than talk radio)

Dio, that home address thing is kinda cool, but lay that oil spill somewhere else! Ya got me covered too. You must not be that far from me.
